Right to Purpose Limitation

Right to Purpose Limitation

The right that your data is only used for the specific purposes that were stated when it was collected. The organization must declare and document those purposes before collection begins, and is barred from later using your data for new, unrelated purposes without your knowledge or consent. This is an upstream limit on what use is ever allowed; the right to stop processing already underway is a separate right.
